Donald Trump is “NO DIFFERENT” than the oppressive Ayatollahs in Iran. And pussy-hatted feminists marching in favour of hijab in Washington are the same as women of Tehran risking jail or worse to protest against hijab. You have to be a Berkeley graduate to be this dumb and morally equivalent.

What are all those stupid Iranians doing, trying to provoke the reformist mullahs?

3. Ben Rhodes, Obama’s “foreign” “policy” “adviser”:

The Iranian people are rightfully demanding dignity, less corruption, more opportunity, and greater control over their lives. In looking at US twitter, it seems lost on too many that this is about what Iranians want for Iran, and not about us.

This is from the man who sent $1.7 billion in pallets of unmarked bills on a plane to thank the mullahs for a bullshit “deal” that didn’t solve anything except giving the Iranian government more legitimacy and more pocket money to spend on suppressing dignity and creating more corruption. Sit this one out, Ben.

4. Linda Sarsour, the professional hijab and Sharia promoter, and one of Women’s March organisers:

As Neontaster commented: “Regardless of how you feel about the travel ban, Iran is on it because it is designated a state sponsor of terrorism, which is precisely the same reason that people are protesting the regime there, hence the support for them.”

5. Thomas Erdbrink, “Tehran bureau chief for the New York Times. I am one of the few Westerners reporting from Iran, and have been based here for the past 10 years”:

From the paper, whose Russian correspondent won the Pulitzer Prize for denying the Ukrainian Famine, in which Stalin starved to death 7 million people, comes the Iranian correspondent with “nothing to see here, move along”. Don’t want your travel to Iran side-business to suffer, perhaps?

Another one, from a few weeks ago, that hasn’t aged well. Thanks, Tehran Thomas:

For many years many Iranians were cynical about their leaders, but that is changing thanks to Trump and the Saudi crown prince. https://t.co/9hcueYEUfr

Remember guys: this is an apple, but some people will try to tell you it’s a banana.

7. Ted Lieu, Congressman:

I agree with @realDonaldTrump that people have the right to express themselves against a government that attacks the free press; corruptly uses private jets at the people's expense; and squanders the nation's wealth by increasing troops in the Middle East. The world is watching! https://t.co/E0kollMalL

Being quiet is how the Obama Administration has helped the Iranian pro-democracy movement from 2009 to 2016, from the suppression of the Green Revolution to the “pallets of cash” nuclear deal. Another former official who should sit this one out.
